farce

In her first interview with the BBC since she fled the country on 5 August 2024, she said her trial in absentia was a "farce" orchestrated by a "kangaroo court" controlled by political opponents.

They denied the charges ahead of their trial, describing it as "a legal farce."

Her son and co-defendant, Noureddin, criticised the trial as a "legal farce" in an interview with AFP last week.

"The reality is that Wales has put forward this ambition – and it's a very big ambition – by not following through on the commitments it creates almost a farce out of the whole thing," she said.

Benedetti said on X that Washington’s “war on drugs is an armed farce” and that “no one believes the story that I’m a drug trafficker.”
